At the IMADEYA Kaku-uchi event, which was held only during the consecutive holidays, we had a chance to compare the sansho (a type of sake).
I was told that I could also drink Rokunozo, so I tried it with a lot of enthusiasm!
I started with the "Ninonozo".
The aroma is a gentle and elegant ginjo aroma.
The mouthfeel is light and slightly effervescent, with a hint of sweetness.
The main flavor in the middle is sourness, and the aftertaste is very clear and free of clutter.
The aftertaste is also very clear and free of clutter.
Overall, it is "beautiful" itself.
I feel that the good quality of the water must have helped.

San-do Kako Go-no-sake
A bottle that I had been curious about since it first went on sale, but could not find it.
It is a bottle that you can enjoy the fresh, crisp mouthfeel, umami and lingering aftertaste that is typical of San-do!
I finally managed to get a bottle of Sanzo, which I was very curious about, and opened the bottle.
It was a delicious sake with a sweet and sour taste along with a gassy feeling. The acidity and aroma seemed different from anything I've ever had with a sour taste.
Personally, I think I preferred the scent of flowers.
Yamada Nishiki
Fruity and sour aroma, blue🍎 type
Slightly effervescent, with a strong sweetness, but also a strong acidity.
Slightly milky.
Not much rice flavor, but it has umami.
I finally met Ubusuna! I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time.
Super fresh! The yogurt-like sourness and sweetness burst out. But it's so refreshing. It's wonderful!
Mmmm producing soil, too complex.
The aroma is mild, but fresh and melon-like.
The mouthfeel is fizzy, and after the chili chili feeling is gone, what emerges is a unique and deep flavor that can be felt only in San-do, which is both spicy and woody.
This taste is so complex and intertwined with several elements that it is impossible to describe. It is a taste that leaves one at a loss for vocabulary!

At the sake meeting, be careful to open the bottle.
Here are some quotes
↓↓↓↓
The unique aroma of Kumamoto No. 9 yeast and the inherent sweetness of the sake are balanced by the "thickening" texture of the local brewing water, expressing the nature of Nagomi-cho.
The unprecedented freshness created by the action of koji mold and other fungi and microorganisms leaves the impression as if the flavor is bubbling in the mouth.
Hokkaido's mizudako (octopus) and raw saury. There is no other way but to drink sake. When the bottle is opened, there is the usual "pop" sound. Slightly carbonated. The aroma is like pineapple. It seems a little more acidic than the other sanshu. It is best with grilled raw saury. Mizudako (Japanese octopus) is also delicious. Shi-no-jo sake is made from sake rice grown with (1) the land of its birth, (2) indigenous production climate, (3) a spirit of prayer, and (4) no fertilizers or pesticides. The sake is made from rice grown without fertilizers or agricultural chemicals. (4-gos. bottle, regular price 3,280 yen)
Hello AAJ I😃
Hozasu is a very good price for a very classy modern sake ✨.
The salt grilled autumn swordfish and the sashimi of the octopus look delicious right now ✨
I'm trying to get a Sanzu, but I can't seem to find it 😅.
Hello, Chesta-san. There are only a limited number of stores in Kumamoto Prefecture that sell Hana-no-Kou Sake Brewery. I also look at the sales dates on the Hana-no-Kou Sake Brewery's Instagram and go there to buy. It's a local advantage that they don't charge for shipping. The saury and the mizudako were both delicious.
Grape acidity. There is also a hint of honeyiness. It has a strong sweetness, probably because it has been sitting for a few months since I bought it. It's good!
Hi Jay ~ ☺️
Yes, it is! I buried it because it's appropriate for Kumamoto✨
When I go to Tokyo, I'm ashamed of my trip...I end up talking to everyone around me!
